Mike Renner· Aug 13, 2026
Renner ranks the top 10 offensive tackle prospects in the upcoming draft class and assigns each an early draft grade, headlined by Texas's Trevor Goosby as a top-10 pick, with Jordan Seaton a first-rounder who should go higher than Olu Fashanu's 11th-overall slot and Cayden Green likely the first guard drafted.
“With a good season, he'll likely be drafted higher than Fashanu's 11th-overall selection.”
